I only read your posts when people quote you.
You use the term christer, I ask you to define what you mean by that, and to back your claim that more christers are in prison than non christers, your response is to call me names and say you will ignore me.

So when you have no answers you attack then ignore typical left

But that doesn't mean that everyone who commits suicide has a mental disorder. That was your original premise.

For example, some people with terminal or debilitating physical illnesses will take their own life. Are you stating that they are mentally deficient?
Some people are horribly unhappy with living. Why stop them?
If a person has a potential mental illness and chooses not to seek help, what are you going to do, force them to take medication that they don't want.
If it's my life, why can't I make decisions governing it?
Why does another person get to decide that I must be crazy or forced to live.

My body, my choice.

Apparently not.
This seems to follow the general population to a point.
Higher for christers, lower for atheists.

But I'd love to read your statistical links, if you have them.

Since godless atheisters are such a tiny percentage of the general population, it is not surprising.

The basic rule of thumb about suicide is...go ahead, kill yourself, America will not miss you and doesn't give a crap.

Atheists are estimated to be around 12-15% of the US population, which is actually quite significant - considering Jewish people only make up around 2% of the US. But by your logic, the Atheist prison population should be disproportionate to their national population... and according to those numbers posted, you are incorrect in that assumption.

I've often wondered what kind of mentality it takes to shove bodies into an oven, like at Auschwitz. Now I know.

So, is lack of humanity & compassion a conservative trait?

And do you really think all psychiatry and mental health is BS? Really???? Btw, I don't recall hearing or reading that all of these suicides were liberals...
